Yabo Sport has become the International Presenting Sponsor Asia for Italy’s Lega Serie A. With this, the company’s brand will be featured in match graphics, idents, and virtual goalmat advertising in all live Serie A TIM matches broadcast throughout Asia.

Yabo Sport CEO Martin Novak said : “ We are a sports betting platform with global aspirations. Serie A has produced more great footballers than any other league. It is no exaggeration that a relationship with Serie A means we are working with one of the very best.”

The package is delivered by Interregional Sports Group (ISG) who are now in their fourth season of providing this tailored approach to sponsorship in Serie A TIM. “We are delighted to have entered into this agreement with such a prestigious brand as Yabo Sport and are looking forward to working closely with them for the rest of this season and beyond,” said ISG’s Group CEO Chris Buckley. “Yabo Sport have a long track record of working with clubs and even national teams but this is their first league-wide deal and demonstrated just what a major force they have become,” he added. “Delivering regional audiences to our brand partners through globally popular sports events is at the core of our business.”

Australia-based Silver Heritage Group has successfully completed the negotiation of a $5.2m settlement with the owner of the Phoenix International Club in Vietnam. The company had to go for settlement after its recent closure owing to complications with its investment certificate.

The settlement will be paid in two instalments and represents about two years of expected EBITDA contributions from Phoenix. Silver Heritage expects to record a loss on disposal of about $1.2m, related to the remaining unamortised value of the entertainment services agreement with the club, the transfer of assets and shutdown costs.

Silver Heritage said it views the settlement as “generally favourable,” given the recent underperformance of the club and the uncertainty regarding its Investment certificate and whether it will be amended to allow table games.
